FALCONS WIDE RECEIVER RODDY WHITE
AGREES TO TERMS ON CONTRACT EXTENSION
FLOWERY BRANCH, GA – Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White agreed to terms on a contract extension today. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
White set a franchise record with 1,382 receiving yards last season (fourth in the NFL) en route to his first Pro Bowl nomination. He became the first Falcons receiver to post back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns since 1998 and '99 and the first receiver in club history to tally back-to-back 1,200-yard seasons. In 64 career games, White has caught 230 passes for 3,536 yards (15.4 avg.) and 16 touchdowns. In 2008, he led the League in third down receiving yardage (516) and ranked tied for second in the NFL in third down receptions (29). The Falcons were 5-1 last season when White finished a game with at least one touchdown reception.

Well, it looks like there is more information out there. ESPN.com and Pat Yasinkas have more
here .
6 Years and $50 mil, with $18 million guaranteed which would make White the 2nd highest paid Receiver in the NFL. Not bad for a guy who 3 years ago, was barely hanging on to his job.
